Relatives are mourning a 2-year-old girl who was killed in a Topeka animal attack.

About 40 friends and family members gathered Tuesday to remember 2-year-old Piper Dunbar, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported. She was found dead Saturday in a yard. Investigators believe two pit bulls attacked her.

Police spokeswoman Amy McCarter said the Animal Control Unit seized both dogs, which belonged to a family friend staying at the home.

Piper's mother, Stephanie Rhoads, said she will remember her daughter as being smart, loving and close to her father. Rhoads said she is enraged about what happened and hopes legal action is taken against the owner of the dogs blamed for Piper's death.

Authorities said the case will be forwarded to the Shawnee County District Attorney's Office for review.
